Le Poète (The Poet)
Kayla made the mistake of sending me some French homework to print out for her this morning. Â We’re not allowed to put stuff on our fridge, so I figure “school.priorfamily.org” is next best thing!
The rough English translation (according to google):
SUMMER WAVES
The warmth of the sun
Beating on the sand
There is a green lemonade
On my desk
Swimmers are
In the blue sea
Carefree
The waves are very large
They rise
And they fall
As the walls of evolving
They roll under the summer sun.
Go Kayla!
